Lore why it sucks

So i have been playing League for a long time. i for one am part of the small community that actually cared about the lore. back when the lore for characters was long. made you really want to know the character about who they are and how there past is. over the years the lore has become more and more depressing. with peoples lore not being altered but completely changed. then others get shortened. i am so sick of it. it honestly ruins the game for me. this game use to have an actual story behind it. use to have a reason for the league being around. characters were a lot more important in the universe. like for one look the new varus lore. it seriously makes no sense. for one we don't need openly gay characters being a part of the LGBT community it actually pisses me off that people are "catering to PC america" not once while reading lore or books in general do i ever think "i wonder if hes gay" his lore was so much better. made him feel like a true hero. being tasked with guarding a door witch held great evil behind it. eventually his village comming under attack and in a vengeful rage opened the door and took on the power. the fact hes some spirt now is dumb. he use to be a person. not an entity controlling people. he had purpose. same thing with taric. he was from a entirely different realm. that used the power of gems to fix everything in fact hes only in the league because he feels the people of rune terra need help. now hes some demacian that is apparently best friends with garen? really? thats so dumb. destroys so much alters so much. the only person that was ever changed that ended up being better was poppy. hers actually fit her a lot more.

But Varus is not a Spirit nor was he ever? And with the newly reworked Darkin lore Varus has almost his exact Story back, he was tasked with defending a temple and couldnt help his village because he had to stay at the temple.

they simply cut the evil entity part, which is completely okay since we have so many of those.

leagues lore has changed yes and i had to get used to it too.

but now the characters actually make sense, before a sheriff of piltover was actually fighting a world ending monster (cho'gath) or an immortal demigod (nasus)

they detached lore from gameplay which lets them actually build a lore-universe and let them make great stories.

where icathia once stood was a superb story twilight of the gods was good too

the explore the characters more now etc

as someone actually interested in lore riot gives us higher quality and quanity of lore now.

the only reason we like the old lore is nostalgia…..

I agree about the Varus part. But some lore and lore adition is still good.

Remember when Superman could sneeze and blow galaxies away? Remember when he had the power to shape shift? Remember when Batman used guns and killed people? Remember when the Little Mermaid killed herself because the legs she was given caused her to feel like she was walking on glass? Remember when Simba married his sister... oh wait, that still happened....

Any way, my point is, changing a story to make more sense for a modern audience is usually a good thing.

So you prefer Viktor being a cartoonish villain, Brand just being a weird glowy fire that some idiot reaver touched, Urgot as a pain-stricken abomination, and Warwick being an impatient alchemist? Well, you do you. I'll just be over here enjoying my morally grey cyborg wannabe world saver, my mage's apprentice gone rogue, my hella badass sadomasochistic kingpin of Zaun, and my miracle hell doggo.

Reviving necro- threads which already had their time to shine is against Universal Rules and as such I will be locking this thread to make sure it lands at the bottom of the howling abyss. I would strongly encourage looking at how old a thread is before commenting on it.
